His passing got me looking at old videos of the '83, '84 & '85 F1 seasons, when I was glued to the coverage on then new to us cable (ESPN?). I always admired his skill, persistence and ambition....and plain old guts. I cannot imagine the horror of the accident nor the feeling of getting back in a car competitively.
Long story short, I came across this clip that I remember from back in the day showing his and the others' skill as well as the relative capabilities of the three cars.
Lauda, Hunt & Watson "..Niki's finished his coffee..."
